Whether she was getting the medication legally or not, she obviously thought she needed it for something -- depressive symptoms?
I would think less of blaming Paxil (she's been on it for a year!) and think this may be an acute worsening of a mental illness.
Based on what you say, there is only one recourse -- GET HER TO SEE A DOCTOR NOW FOR AN EVALUATION. EITHER VOLUNTARILY OR INVOLUNTARILY.
It sounds like there is the potential for self-harm and harm to others here (a minor!), either intentional or not. Don't make the mistake of letting it ride and letting something terrible happen.
